For Delphi TOPAZ offers a component library of 16 superb visual components and a library of over 200 useful date and time math, string and file manipulation routines. TOPAZ for Delphi integrates a broad spectrum of procedures, functions, and components into a versatile programmer's tool-kit. TOPAZ enables programmers to write with "dBASE-like" syntax in Delphi and use standard dBASE data and index files. TOPAZ includes utilities, numerous programming examples and sample programs.TOPAZ provides a powerful and comprehensive platform from which you can quickly develop applications of any type. Develop both single-user and multi-user database applications for 16-bit Delphi and 32-bit Delphi under MS Windows 3.x, Windows 95, 98 and NT.

TOPAZ comes with complete support for all Delphi compilers. It is not necessary to purchase additional versions, upgrades, or add-ons to TOPAZ to switch between platforms.

In the final application TOPAZ database engine is linked into the EXE, therefore TOPAZ applications are self-contained and self-sufficient. TOPAZ apps do not require any third party DLLs or the Borland Database Engine (BDE). Most TOPAZ applications can be distributed on a single 3.5 inch floppy disk.

Main Product Features

Self-sufficient and self-contained executable files. TOPAZ does not require any third party DLLs. Everything your application needs will be in one EXE. In many cases the final application may be shipped even without database files. TOPAZ will create and handle all the necessary database files and indexes automatically without any additional code.

Cross-component support (support for Borland's open dataset architecture) allows Delphi 3 and Delphi 4 (and C++Builder 3) programmers link TOPAZ data access components to any Borland or third party data aware component.

Virtual Database Table component lets programmers create and mantain databases totally in memory. TOPAZ programmers may use the same proprties and methods as the regular database access component, TTzDbf, but without any disk I/O. Look-up tables, intermediate processing files, and temporary database tables can be blazingly fast! (This feature is not available for C++Builder yet)

TTzPrintLabel component lets you create over 400 different kinds of standard and unlimited custom labels: envelopes, mailing labels, packing slips, disk labels, VCR labels... Programmers may visually design shipping labels with Windows fonts, data fields connected to databases, shapes and graphics. (This feature is not available for C++Builder yet)

TOPAZ TTzMask and TTzEdit provide additional input formatting with standard dBASE style picture masks in addition to Delphi's new style picture masks.

TOPAZ solves the Year 2000 problem automatically once and for ever, no code is necessary! With TOPAZ you may still use two digit years through the year 2000.

Numerous high-level routines are included for comprehensive date and time math, string manipulation, and dialog boxes. The same application source code can be used to produce single or multi-user applicatons.

Powerful utilities are provided including a database structure editor, dBASE file browser, and much more. All utilities come with full
source code.

TOPAZ comes with over 250 pages of documentation including tutorial, technical reference and numerous code samples.
